Immersive Reading Apps

The Campfire App Transforms the Way Kids and Families Read

Campfire is an innovative new smartphone app, developed by Seattle-based entrepreneurs Kyle Kesterson and David Wykes, that is designed to capture and manifest the principles of immersive reading by making use of the latest and greatest technologies to make family reading experiences more engaging than ever.

The app achieves this by harnessing the age-old charm of campfires by allowing users to connect their app with a wide array of Internet of Things devices including bulbs, Bluetooth speakers, fans and other products that can be used in order to go ahead and create a specific mood conducive reading.

This immersive reading app proves that smartphone apps do not threaten old-school traditions but could actually reinvent them for the modern age.
